Trip to the Beach...Again, Camera

Took another trip today. I helped to load Chris up this morning after fixing a wire for their transmission so it will shift to second gear and then headed out with them. The kids wanted to go with, too, so I let them. This was Kayla's first painful baptism.


The trip went well, slow at first, but well. We had to pick up various people on the way and continue to load the back of the steakbed truck where we rode. It was pretty well packed. We unloaded quickly and headed back (I didn't want to be gone ALL day - ended up being gone MOST of the day). The ride back was better because we could roam around in the back of the truck, but it was cooler and cold as we headed up the mountain because rain had fell and cooled it off quite a bit. I don't think that Kayla will go on a trip like this again. Carter loved it and thanked me many times for letting him come with.

Here are some pictures from the trip:

This says "Road Closed", but it really wasn't:


This is the market area, but it was not a market day:


In another area, it was market day:


This guy may have been coming from the market (just to stick with the market-theme):


Here is an SUV that was involved in a rollover, but apparently it still works. The police didn't seem to care too much that he didn't have a windshield. It even started to sprinkle a little on the while he was following us. Sorry it is blurry - I didn't manipulate it well enough - it is broken, remember? More on that below...


Just a nice scenery shot to end the photos:


Camera

Lynn and Ruth, uncle and aunt to the family-related kids here at the mission, gave me their camera because they heard mine was on the fritz. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! It is a great blessing to have a camera that focuses where you point it (a wonderful feature in a camera)!
